Tips from the Community

Rianne
November 12, 2025, Lac de Sidialles depuis Allier

What you don't see when you walk here: this lake exists thanks to sheer stubbornness. When the La Joyante River was dammed in the 1970s, no one believed the lake would ever amount to anything. Too isolated, too wild. But nature had other plans. Today, the water is so calm that you almost forget how much effort it once took to tame this landscape.

A viaduct in two parts. The first spans the Moulin Neuf road and the second spans the Arnon. It rises to a height of 55 meters and welcomes bungee jumpers who take off in front of the castle.
